It's hard to know whether these anti-Bush, anti-McCain Republicans will vote for the Democrat this fall, hold their noses and vote for Sen. McCain, or just stay home on Election Day. While the apparent Democratic nominee, Barack Obama, has genuine support among a few conservatives – a friend of mine calls herself an "Obamacon" – the stay-at-home option would seem to be more likely.
The small minority who prefer small government, low taxes and non-intervention with other countries' problems have little to choose from among the current crop of "leading" presidential contenders. Voters may be reluctant to vote for a Libertarian because they think they are wasting their vote but revolutions often start with small steps.
